It’s a line of argument that deserves its own thread. Unfortunately this isn’t the thread and that’s not the topic in this one.

You are conflating investigation and prosecution. Criminals don’t get to choose who investigates their crimes.

I agree, Truss could have played this as ‘not my mess but we are where we are’ it would have required the public to ignore the fact she was a member of the Government but if she had focussed on the cost of energy and left everything else alone she would have won support. Unfortunately two things conspired against her: 1. The extreme rightwing economic dogma she bought into decades ago and has carried with her ever since. She was gagging to inflict it on the nation. 2. She’s as thick as two short planks. The nation pays the price.

Sometimes typos nail the truth.

The Tories are in a mess of their own making. Tge more the public see of Truss the less they like her, and that isn’t going to get any better. So the Tories are now in a fix, do they get rid of Truss and throw the country into yet another Tory infighting induced stupor or do they go into the next election with Truss as PM? I’m for the latter. This is a Tory mess, the Tories and their supporters need to suck it up.

Why should the left praise her for upturning on policies that are damaging the nation and its economy? And this was not the fault of MSM. There is a clue in the title of the thread

RIP Big man.

I have never once suggested you are a racist - not ever. I do not call other members racist, not ever.

I’m pleased for you that it all gives you a warm cuddly secure feeling, but it would be far better for you to face reality. Justice is coming.

I think that’s a variation on ‘some of my best friends are Black’.

This thread is not about Thailand, India Saudi Arabia, Africa or any other place than the UK. I’ve never claimed racism doesn’t exist in any other country.

It was her own MP’s that forced her to sack the Chancellor and will force a Budget U-turn, they are in danger of loosing their seats at the election, very many to Labour.

Are ‘the Left’ being blamed yet?

I’m not sure any of that is true, or otherwise misrepresented. Try this: You earlier mentioned furthering ‘political beliefs’. I Personally believe that non of the mainstream political parties are racist, not the Tories, Labour, Lib Dems, Greens, Scottish Nationalist, none of them. But there are political parties and movements in the UK that are profoundly racist. Racism is a fact n British society and politics. Deny that at cost to your credibility.

Racism exists in the UK, it’s a reality.

Oh no, the favored Guardian defense.

No logic is, if you can’t provide a verification of your opinion then your opinion is unverified. Here’s another logical argument for you. Observing racism isn’t a cause of racism.

It’s very much more likely that the King was aware that Truss was was deliberately seeking a ‘photo opportunity’. Who thought it a good idea to broadcast video of her meeting the King and why?

Logic.

I’d like her to hang on for the full term of the Government, these bar tenders need to deal with the mess they have created.

I said from the start, Truss is a gift to the opposition. I have to honest, I never really grasped how much of a gift.

I don’t disagree with Government reports written by the Civil Service with links to data included.

I notice the members who spend so much time ranting about immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers have been very quiet on Ukrainian refugees and have had virtually nothing to say about Russians fleeing overseas. So I’m not convinced by your argument.

What the police choose to investigate and what the law defines as a hate crime (of which racism is an example) are not necessarily the same thing. People report what they perceive to be a crime, the police investigate. Convictions in court are based on what the law says. The definitions under the law are very clear.

No, not only if I want it to be anything. It’s what the law says that counts: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2015/30/section/1/enacted
